When I was in college, I took anthropology and spent a lot of time reading about snake handlers. There are a lot of tricks to the trade so to speak, but every once in a while, the magic just don't work. My wife knew Doc Watson and he introduced her and some of her New York folk singing friends to real authentic musicians up in the back hills...these guys all had rattle snake tails in their instrument cases...very important hoodoo! When I was a kid in Detroit, my radio was my link to other worlds. I listened to The Grand Ol Opry Show and Blues stations from Chicago...Radio used to be a gate way to other worlds, now it's all the Clear Channel and Rush Limbaugh....I listen to the radio at night when I go to bed here in France. It's still a pretty eclectic creative medium here. There's a DJ who has been around for years and on Friday nights, his program is live from Nashville, France! The best Country and Western with all the radio call signals from stations all over America...I still love to listen to the radio! It's still a magic gate way to other worlds to me.
